A new study says college students may prefer the flexibility of hybrid classes—but that doesn’t mean they want to leave campus.
Holly Burns, for instance, long dreamed of attending the University of California at Berkeley. She took some intro-level courses at her local community college, and when she applied in 2018, she couldn’t believe she was accepted. Burns chose Berkeley because of the beauty and energy of its campus.
The adjustment as a transfer student was challenging. “It took me a little while to find a group of people that I wanted to be around, and feel like I was connected to the campus,” Burns says. “Especially as a transfer student and being somebody who was older than most of the undergraduates.”
